LAMP ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 23, 1919.

Application filed November 29, 1918. Serial No. 264,500.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CONSTANTINE SAvrr- SKY, (formerly a citizen of Russia, havlng declared his intention to become a cltlzen of the United States), residing at 1218 Quitman street, in the city and county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp Attachments; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as Wlll. enable others skilled in'the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. 1

This invention relates to attachments for lamps and is to be used in connection with a cooking attachment. The object is to reinforce the shade support whereby heavier cooking vessels may be safely placed on the cooking attachment.

Briefly stated, the invention comprlses two flanged and channeled members to be bolted together about the bead extending around the side of the lamp, the upper one of these members supporting a pluralit of hinged arms shaped at their upper en s to receive the lower edge of the lamp shade.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is an elevation showing the application of the improvement.

Fig. 2 is a plan of the attachment.

Fi 3 is a vertical section indicated by the line 3--3 of Fig. 2 and showing also the application to a lamp.

Fig. 4 is a similar view indicated by line 44 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a similar showing indicated by line 55 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a vertical section showing the cooking attachment in detail; and

Fig. 7 is a horizontal section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6.

In Fig. 1 an ordinary metal lamp with chimney, shade and ad ustable shade supports is shown, the supporting arms A of a cooking attachment B resting upon the upper edge of the shade, and a cooking vessel G being mounted on the cooking attachment B.

The invention is the reinforcing or auxiliary attachment comprising the upper annular ring, 12, and the lower annular ring,

13. These rings are shaped to fit the bead D of the lamp as shown, and have horizontal flanges 14L and 15 respectively which are bolted together by bolts 16 and thus secured to the lamp. The lower ring has a depending bracing flange 113 which lies against the body of the lamp.

At each of several properly spaced points, a pair of ears 17 is formed on the upper ring 12. These ears receive a pintle 18 which passes through an eye 19 formed in the lower end of the standard 20, thereby forming a hinge joint. The upper end of each standard is cupped as shown at 21 to form a firm support for the shade. The hinge joint permits the supports 20 to be adjusted along with the original shade holders to take different size shades.

It will be seen that this improvement adds greatly to the value of the entire device as a cooking means. The ordinary shade supports are never strong enough to support a cooking attachment and a vessel of any appreciable size. But with my present attachment, a total weight of about twenty pounds may be supported on the cooker. This makes a very eflicient compact cooking or water-heating arrangement for small quarters.

As above stated, the cooking attachment is supported upon the lamp shade S by supporting arms A. Upon each pair of adjacent arms A a semi-circular band 30 is mounted. These bands have slots 31 in which headed rivets, 32, secured to the arms A are slidable. Centrally positioned 'on each band is a knob 33. By this construction when the knobs 33-are grasped and pulled apart all of the arms A are separated and the shade-engaging portions 34 freed from the upper edge of the shade as the attachment 1s being positioned or removed.

The arms A support the cooking attachment B. The latter is composed of the tray 35, to which the arms A are riveted, the tray being provided preferably with handles 36. Fitted snugly to the tray 35 is a sleeve 37 having an annular flange on its lower end said flange underlying the tray 35. Within the sleeve 37 there is a cylinder 40, whose upper end is flanged at 41 to rest upon the top of the lamp chimney or flue F, while the cylinder is spaced from the flue slightly. The lower end of cylinder 40 is flanged at 42 and supports is mounted, the tray having anupturned inner rim 56 and being, 7 provided with- Iii the sleeve 46 fits about the sleeve 37 and has" a lower flared portion 4 which snugly fits cover the upturned inner edge of the pan 45,- or is otherwisetightly connected with the pan. The object of this construction is,

to collect liquid which may boil over from the cookingvessel A supporting platform is mounted in the pan and is provided withan inwardly extending rim 51, which engages the sleeve 46 and centers the platform. The. member 50 also has an inturned reinforcing. flange- 52, and in this and the rim 5-1 the standards 53 are mounted by means of nuts and threads as: shown. 7 Uponthese standards a, supporting tray '55,for cooking vessel G- apertures 57 near its outer edge. vessel is smaller than thetray it rests upon rim 56; if it boils over the liquid will flow through apertures 57 and fall into the pan 45.
